A rich, brandy from Bodegas Torres; founded in 1870 by Jaime Torres Vendrell as one of Spain’s premier wineries, but the family had been growing grapes in the area for more than one hundred years before that. the “30” refers to the average age of the brandies in this blend and “Jaime” is in honor of the founder. It opens with notes of grape, coconut, dried cherry & spice; while the body adds floral notes, fig & tobacco; that leads to a long & velvety finish with notes of vanilla, nuts & almond.
